1.3 Performance features
Processors
In the PRIMERGY BX620 S6 Server Blade, one (basic configuration) or two
multi-core processors of the Intel®XEON®type ensure fast data flow and high
system performance.
The addition of processors is described in the Options Guide and the
replacement of processors in the Service Supplement.
VCAUTION!
You are only permitted to combine CPUs with the same clock frequency
and cache capacity in one PRIMERGY BX620 S6.
Memory
6 DIMM slots for DDR3 memory modules are available per CPU on the
PRIMERGY BX620 S6 server blade (organized in 2 banks and 3 channels).
These 12 slots for the main memory are suitable both for RDIMM (registered
DIMM) and for UDIMM (unbuffered DIMM) memory modules. You must use
modules of the same size within a memory bank.
The maximum memory configuration when equipped with UDIMM memory
modules is 24 GB (capacities: 1 GB and 2 GB) and 192 GB when equipped with
RDIMM memory modules (capacities: 2 GB, 4 GB, 8 GB and 16 GB).
IYou are not permitted to mix UDIMM and RDIMM memory modules.
Memory scrubbing and ChipKill™are standard.
The installation of memory modules is described in the Options Guide.

The PRIMERGY BX620 S6 can accommodate up to two 2.5-inch HDD/SSD
modules (alternatively with SAS or SATA interface).
SATA HDD modules are available with capacities of 160 GB, 320 GB, or
500 GB. The maximum hard disk capacity is thus 1000 GB (2x500 GB).
SAS HDD modules are available with capacities of 73 GB, 146 GB, or 300 GB.
The maximum hard disk capacity is thus 600 GB (2x300 GB).

BX620 S6 Operating Manual 15
Performance features
SSD modules are available with capacities of 32 GB or 64 GB. The maximum
disk capacity is thus 128 GB (2x64 GB).
You can replace or add HDD/SSD modules during operation (hot-plug) without
having to remove the server blade cover. The installation/replacement of HDD
modules is described in the chapter “CSS components” on page 87.
Storage modules
The hard disks are controlled by a storage module (controller) that can be
plugged into the system board. The storage module can also have other
functions. Altogether, there are three different variants to choose from: SAS,
SAS/MegaRAID and SAS/PCIe. The PCIe variant allows the installation of low-
profile PCIe boards.
You install/replace storage modules via the front of the server blade without
having to remove the housing cover. However, you cannot do this during
operation (no hot-plug). To do this, you must switch the server blade off instead.
The installation/replacement of storage modules is described in the Options
Guide.
LAN availability
The BX620 S6 Server Blade has three onboard LAN controllers with TOE and
iSCSI functionality, which each provide two 1Gbit/s Ethernet channels. The
connection to the Ethernet LAN is via switch blades or pass-thru blades on the
rear of the basic unit. You will find more details in the operating manual for the
basic unit.
Graphics controller
The BX620 S6 Server Blade has an onboard graphics controller. A monitor can
be connected via the VGA interface (via breakout cable) to the front of the server
blade or via the KVM blade to the rear of the basic unit.
Optional Fibre Channel or Ethernet I/O module (daughter/mezzanine card)

– 4 Gbit/s Fibre Channel I/O module (PCIe), which enables transfer rates of 1,
2 or 4 Gbit/s and supports multiple FC storage subsystems with corre-
sponding versions.
IThis I/O module can only be used in a BX600 S3 basic unit and only
with a 4/4 Gbit/s FC switch blade. You will find more information on
this in the operating manual for the BX600 S3 basic unit.
– 1 Gbit Ethernet I/O module (PCIe), which also supports TOE (TCP/IP
Offload Engine) and iSCSI.
To allow use of the additional I/O functionality, at least one FC pass-thru blade
(or switch blade) or Ethernet pass-thru blade (or switch blade) must be installed
in the NET3 slot of the basic unit.
IIt is not possible to mix different I/O modules in one basic unit.
The installation of I/O modules at a later time is described in the Options Guide.
Accessible Drives
Accessible drives (e.g. floppy disk or DVD drives) can be connected via the two
USB ports (via breakout cable) on the front of the server blade while the system
is running.
Customer Self Service (CSS)
The Fujitsu Technology Solutions Customer Self Service (CSS) concept
enables you to identify and replace the affected component yourself in the case
of certain error scenarios.
In the CSS concept, you may replace the following components yourself for a
server blade in the event of an error:
– Hot-plug hard disk drives
– Memory modules
The CSS indicator on the control panel of the server blade informs you if a CSS
event arises. For more information on the behavior of this indicator, see the
chapter “Installation and operation” on page 43 and the "PRIMERGY
ServerView Suite Local Service Concept - LSC" manual on the PRIMERGY
ServerView Suite DVD 2.
In addition, CSS errors are displayed in the ServerView Operations Manager -
the server management software from Fujitsu Technology Solutions.

BX620 S6 Operating Manual 17
Performance features
In the event of errors, the ServerView Operations Manager refers you directly to
the affected component and its order information in the Illustrated Spares
catalog of the server in question.
USB Flash Module
A USB Flash Module (UFM) can also be installed on the system board. It is used
as memory for software (e.g. VMware) or as a software dongle.
Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
A Trusted Platform Module (TPM) for safer storage of keys can be implemented
as an option. This module enables programs from third party manufacturers to
store key information (e.g. drive encryption using Windows Bitlocker Drive
Encryption).
The TPM is activated via the system BIOS (see chapter “BIOS Setup”).
VCAUTION!
– When using the TPM, note the program descriptions provided by the
third party manufacturers.
– You must also create a backup of the TPM content. To do this, follow
the third party manufacturer's instructions. Without this backup, if the
TPM or the system board is faulty you will not be able to access your
data.
– If a failure occurs, please inform your service about the TPM
activation before it takes any action, and be prepared to provide them
with your backup copies of the TPM content.
High level of availability and data security
When memory data is accessed, 1-bit errors are identified in the main memory
and automatically corrected with the error correcting code (ECC) method.
ASR&R (Automatic Server Reconfiguration and Restart) restarts the system in
the event of an error and automatically "hides" the defective system compo-
nents.
The PDA (Prefailure Detection and Analyzing) technology from Fujitsu
Technology Solutions analyzes and monitors all components that are critical for
system reliability.

The onboard RAID controllers on the SAS RAID storage modules support the
RAID levels 0 and 1 by default, thus increasing system availability.
A storage module with the RAID level 0 or 1 with extended logging and BBU can
be installed for SAS HDD modules to further increase availability.
Server management
Server management is implemented using the ServerView Operations Manager
supplied combined with PDA (Prefailure Detection and Analysis) technology
from Fujitsu Technology Solutions. PDA reports the threat of a system error or
overloading early on, so that preventive measures can be taken.
The ServerView Operations Manager enables the management of all
PRIMERGY servers in the network via a central console. The ServerView
Operations Manager supports the following functions:
●Round-the-clock monitoring, regardless of server status
●High-performance, graphical console bypass (AVR) protected by
HTTPS/SSL (128 bit)
